I have the same relationship with social media minus the getting to know people off of social media. Repeatedly seeing the same account-sure. But never engaged in a private convo with someone. This might be the most personal one ever.
Maybe it’s fascinatimg to me bc i’m straight but I really appreciate your POV, thank you for that. You might just have been the perfect person to have had this conversation with.
Yeah lol I have people I saw on Reddit for years and years later I’ve been to their house in a different state. That’s the thing, when I interact with people online I do it as equals or with a clear understanding that it’s an artist whose work I like. Or as a mod, which is it’s own thing. But the point there being that I treat folks like you like I would a conversation in line at a bar, maybe we wind up chatting, maybe I say something I feel needs to be said to something I overheard. If I see you around enough we might get to know each other or develop friendships, but it’s because I’m not being weird about it.
